College receptions

Kick off Alumni Weekend with former classmates, faculty from UD's colleges

3:18 p.m., May 16, 2014--For those who need another great reason to arrive early to University of Delaware Alumni Weekend, all seven colleges will hold their own alumni celebrations across campus on Friday, June 6, before Mug Night begins.

In addition to the seven colleges, Athletics, Admissions and Honors will hold individual receptions, too.

Held the first weekend after Commencement each year, Alumni Weekend is a tradition that is growing in popularity and in size. The weekend encourages alumni, friends, and families to return to campus and celebrate the qualities that make UD unique.

It also provides an opportunity to reconnect with friends and professors and to witness the remarkable changes at the University over the past few years.

More than 5,300 Blue Hens and friends attended in 2013, participating in activities such as Mug Night, the Blue Hen 5K, reunions, President Patrick Harker's State of the University address, the R&B Lounge and the Alumni Wall of Fame Ceremony. More information is available at the Alumni Weekend website.
